Breast pumps!

I am hoping to breastfeed and should I be able to, I am wanting to purchase an electric breast pump. Was hoping to get opinions on the best ones out there and why (for those who have used them)...
I have done some research online and have heard great things about the Medela pump in style advance but can't find any Australian stockists. Ideas?

I am pregnant with my second boy-I breast fed my son till he was 9 months old-but I was told by the lactation consultant that the best way to express is with a manual hand pump as it gets the most milk from the breast

I used an avent manual pump & it was good until I got mastitis.
I was over producing milk & got mastitis, I had to get an electric pump which was medela.
Both brands are good really! Just depends how much you want to spend etc :)

I just got my spectra m1 delivered. So easy to use and portable. My first time using a pump so I don't know about any. others but apparently the spectra is as good as medella swing but half the price :) Shipped to me in 2 days from the website.

I had a lot of milk with my first son. I used a manual pump, and found it really good as I didn't have to pump much as my milk just poured out! An electric pump was just trying too much. I used Phillips Avent pump last time and have purchased it again, as I was very happy with it.

I also had a Medela Swing when I went back to work fill time. Was so great and comfy but the double pump would've been even better for speed. Just make sure you get the right nipple size funnel so it doesn't pinch.
